May i know where exactly Red Palm KL (bukit bintang) is located? Is it a walking distance to Sungai Wang Plaza/Berjaya Times Square

Answer:
It’s about 5 minutes walk from either of these places. It’s located on Tengkat Tong Shin, the second street parallel to Jalan Bukit Bintang (with Jalan Alor in between).
Please check http://www.redpalm-kl.com for detailed information.

It really depends on your preferences. The more comfortable way is to take the night night train from Singapore (leaves 10.15pm and arrives in KL 7am). The ticket is 43S$ for the lower berth. For more info check http://www.ktmb.com.my and http://www.seat61.com/Malaysia.html
The cheaper option is to take a bus from Singapore (S$15 from Lavender Bus Station or S$23 for an express coach from Queen Street Bus Station). More Infos: http://www.the-inncrowd.com/singtomsia.htm

DID YOU KNOW?
Pirate DVDs and Software

KL used to be a paradise for faked goods. Shops selling movies and software could even be found in shopping malls. Since 2007 the government forced the shops to close in the tourist areas. Now, you need to go to shopping malls outside the city center to find the DVD shops. However, you can still find them at the market on Petaling Street in Chinatown. Quality is usually good unless it’s a brand new film then there is chance that you might get a cinema copy.

Nasi Campur (Malay Mixed Rice)
Besides the Indian and Chinese food, there is also the flavorful and diverse Malay cuisine. The best way to experience this is to have your lunch at a Nasi Campur counter. Nasi Campur means Mixed Rice in Malay and refers to a plate of white rice that you will get from the kakak, (short: Ka, means sister in Malay and waitresses often been addressed that way), before filling your plate whatever that suits your taste from the counter.
